The Jackfowlierara Appleblossum flowers smell like the blooms of a Jonathan apple tree. One year, my apple trees were in bloom at the same time as the orchid and I compared the fragrances.
Someone in my Orchid Society was moving away and gave me a Bulbophyllum carunculatum seedling which is growing very nicely. I thought it would be one of those Bulbos that you need to put your nose into it to smell but Edgar Stehli, who owns the parent plant, assured me that when the parent plant is in bloom, he can smell it as soon as he enters the greenhouse and it is...very unpleasant. We shall see. If it inherits this trait and is as bad as he indicates, it may be returned to him.
